GREAT SCHOOL PROGRAM PROVIDED BY CONGRESS (Crispus Attucks News Service) The last acts of Congress have provided substantial sums for erecting big buildings and for the improvement of other buildings and sites all destined to make Washington's schools among the finest in the country. The Business High School will soon have its own buildings by reason of the provision for a new building for the whites who have outgrown their immense technical high school. There is some speculation as to the principal of that plant among us. First Assistant Superintendent G. C. Wilkinson is scouring the country to engage suitable talent for some of his projects, because of the factional hostility to almost every local man named for any post. Congress provides an additional $50,000 to connect the new with the old building. This school is destined to become one of the best technical schools in the country. Already its graduates are in demand for skilled industry, and some have entered business for themselves. The junior high schools are coming in for enlargement under the generous provisions made by Congress, and the congested arrangements at the Garnet, Patterson schools, in the heart of the city, You Street at Tenth will be relieved by new buildings to occupy the whole city block.

GALA WEEK FOR INAUGURAL All Washington Prepared to Make the Coolidge-Dawes Ceremonies a Week of Gayety (Crispus Attucks News Service) Visitors have been pouring into Washington from every section of the country. All the committee chosen for the official inaugural ceremonies have their quota of members of the race listed upon them, and every event of national significance, is partly the result of our co-operation and advice. Despite the fact that Mr. Coolidge has announced for a simple inaugural ceremony, the demands of the public are making the affair one of great brilliancy and social activity. The week opened with visiting ministers in all pulpits because of the sessions of the National Race Congress which met on Tuesday, March 3, at the Mt. Carnel Baptist Church of which the president, Rev. Wm. H. Jernagin, is pastor; and of the meeting of the Board of A.M.E. Zion Bishops, who met at John Wesley A.M.E.Z Church on the same date. The women of the city and noted visitors are in session at the Y.W.C.A. under the auspices of the Republican National Political Study Club, with the enthusiasts of Mrs. Williams of Georgia and Mrs. Booze of Mississippi, everywhere manifest. The young people wound up the evening with a midnight vaudeville revue at the Lincoln Theatre, while society danced with the annual Bachelor Benedicts reception at Murray Casino, with Dr. C. Sumner Wormley as the outstanding bachelor who has resisted all charms for the past 30 years. Following the inaugural ceremonies at the Capitol and the brief parade of civic and military organizations, reviewed by the President and his party from the stand erected in front of the White House, the people visited the different theatres until time for the official Inaugural Ball and Charity Bazaar at Convention Hall, under the auspices of the Interstate Committee of the committee on Rules and Revisions of the Grand Lodge of Elks of the World, headed by Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, who is a member of the official inaugural committee. A second reception for the younger set was held at Murray's Casino, where the guests and members of "The Smart Set," a regular dancing organization, wiled away the time until 2 A. M. The third reception for the group comprising the government employees and officials of rank in the departments, was held under the auspices of the Citizens, at the Lincoln Colonade of the Lincoln Theatre. Thursday, March the Fifth Thursday, March the Fifth Masonic women entertained the visitors and friends at a most enjoyable reception at Lincoln Colonnade after several busy sessions, first of the Lincoln League, at the headquarters of Colonel-Henry Lincoln Johnson and Perry W. Howard, 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue, where the Political lineup was framed and the prospective beneficiaries of the new administration made their claims and swaps. The genial Colonel was as expansive in his hospitality as a veritable southern gentleman after a fox hunt in the good old days, before the Civil misunderstanding sent them all to work. Fiery oratory and plans which look to the political future of the race, were in order the meeting of the National League of Republican Colored Women, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, an edifice which has seen many similar meetings in the palmy days of the colored citizen in national affairs. In the evening, a cultured and refined reception for women was held at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., where visitors from remote sections of the country renewed acquaintances and met new faces. The week closed with a reception for invited guests, at the Lincoln Colonnade, under the inspaces of the Oldest Inhabitants Association, an organization composed of men who have lived for more than 25 years in the nation's capital. For intelligence, culture and evidences of material prosperity, Washington has never witnessed such a week of distinguished gatherings of notable people as were present to witness the inauguration of the Coolidge-Dawes administration, and to try to influence it for the protection and advancement of our racial group. The Crispus Attucks Press Club has been the headquarters for visiting pressmen and for information. WHITELAW HOTEL OFFICIALS ASKED TO ACCOUNT $50 000 Must Be Accounted For (Crispus Attucks News Service) Daniel M. Gary, an attorney representing several stock holders in the Whitelaw Hotel Corporation, has asked an accounting from the officers, past and present, of the organization. He alleges that some $100,000 of unauthorized stock has been sold and some $50,000 of the price collected but not accounted for. He names John W. Lewis, former president and founder of the Industrial Building association, who came to Washington with Coxey's army and later started a number of enterprises among which the Whitelaw Hotel is the largest; William H. Robinson, an attorney and formerly secretary of the corporation. Lawrence E. Murray, formerly treasurer and William D. Nixon, formerly manager. The Whitelaw Hotel and apartment house, one of the biggest of all racial buildings in Washington, and the first instance of distinctive progress among the recent building projects, has had a stormy career. WASHINGTON AGENT TOPS SOUTHERN AID DEBITS (Crispus Attucks News Service) G. L. Richardson, local agent for the Southern Aid, has outdistanced all other agents of the insurance company, with a weekly debit of $287.40. This is another instance where Richardson has topped all competitors. He is after a debit of more than $300 by which he will stand clearly ahead of any agent in any company in this district.

WHY WE INWARDLY REJOICE (Crispus Attucks News Service) Despite the disaffection towards other political parties, despite the seeming neglect of our best interests in the matter of enforcement of the protective provisions of the Constitution which guarantee our rights as American citizens, and despite the loss of recognition in places of prominence in the roster of government officials, we have every reason to be proud and happy at the inauguration of a Republican administration at Washington. The Republican party was born in a time of stress. It was the outcome of a rivalry between the northern and southern sections of the country, as to which should dominate the economic policies of the whole nation. Prior to the birth of the Republican party, the voters had become split into numerous hopelessly divided groups, while the south was solid for slavery. From the death of the older Federalists, men who had fought in the Revolutionary War against British oppression and who had sat in the Constitutional Congresses which gave birth to the nation and to the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which made the territory north of the Ohio river free soil and guaranteed the perpetuity of the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, the masses of new settlers and small land holders had been carrying the country westward and increasing its wealth by means of their industry. There had sprung up in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, a group of young statesmen led by Henry Clay, who believed in the future of the country, and in spending money for internal improvements. There had also sprung up, by reason of the impetus given to manufacturers through the cessation of importation during the war of 1812, a group who believed in the protective tariff which was providing money to be spent. Temporarily, the selection of Andrew Jackson with his narrow but patriotic ideas, set back the internal development of the nation, and left every white man free to advance or fail by his own efforts. The divergent groups clashed with arms in Kansas, and with rows and wordy disputes in the Senate, where the solid south and its superior statesmanship held the whip hand. The Supreme Court, influenced by southern power and hospitality had backed the fugitive slave law, making every white man and the national government too, agents in the slave interests. Arrogant threats of cessation were made daily and bitter assaults were made upon the champions of freedom. The Union was threatened; the Republican party was born to save the nation by abolishing slavery. It was known as "The Black Republican party," but was supported so overwhelmingly at the polls with Abraham Lincoln as its candidate, that there was no doubt as to the dominant sentiment of the country. The Republican party wrote the amendments which gave us citizenship rights under the Constitution, and raised the army which resisted the attempt to destroy the Union. It recognized our citizenship and protected our forbears in their rights. It provided freedmen's aid and schools for our children. It appointed our competent men to federal positions. From that day to this, the states that have been predominantly Republican have maintained free institutions and fostered our development. We would be inhuman and minus gratitude and good sense, were we not to rejoice and give thanks that another Republican administration was inaugurated to manage the affairs of our government. AMERICA DOING GREAT SERVI ICE FOR THE WORLD British Visitor So Regards Efforts for Racial Adjustment Atlanta, Ga., (Special to The Broad Ax).—In seeking an amicable solution of their problems of race relations, the American people are doing the world a service of greatest importance, according to Secretary Kenneth Maclennan, of the Missionary Conference of Great Britain and Ireland, who is now in the United States studying the interacial situation and the status of Negro education in this country. After inquiring carefully into the Interracial Movement in the South, at its headquarters here, Mr. Maclennan said: "You Americans are doing a much more important thing than you realize, one which has significance not for America alone, but for the whole world. The twelve million Negroes in this country are but a small part of the world's colored population and the relation of the two races here is only a segment of a world-wide problem of racial attitudes. Great Britain alone is dealing with a vastly larger native population in Africa and with some three hundred million inhabitants of India. "The best minds among the British people are earnestly seeking the right solution of this tangled web of race relations," continued Dr. Maclennan. "They are looking hopefully to America where the problem seems to be clearing up through mutual efforts to promote understanding, sympathy and helpfulness between the races. You may feel encouraged, therefore, to go forward with your efforts," he concluded, "seeing that they mean so much to millions of people in other lands." While in the South, Mr. Maclennan visited Tuskegee Institute and several of the Negro colleges in Atlanta and expressed himself greatly pleased with the educational progress the race is making in this country. MANHATTAN LODGE OF ELKS REINSTATED IN FAVOR (Crispus Attucks News Service) After prolonged discussion of differences, the delegates from the Manhattan Lodge of New York City, recently suspended by the Grand Exalted Ruler for obstructing a ruling made by him in connection with an election at which he presided, have paid their fine, returned to New York City and understand the law under which the Grand Exalted Ruler acted. All is harmony. The delegates admit they were misinformed as to their powers. It appears that in the recess of the Grand Lodge, the powers of that body reside in the Grand Exalted Ruler, and that he is empowered to preside at the election and installation of officers of any lodge, new or chartered. Mr. Wilson is intimate with every phrase of the law of the growing order, having been identified with it since its organization 25 years ago. Sixty-five new lodges have been formed since the last grand lodge convention, 1924.

SOME OF THE NEWS OF THE WEEK President Coolidge's Inauguration; Senator Deneen Amply Qualified; Louisiana High Courts Decision that we have chosen the strong points that apply particularly to our race. If the editors and the people throughout the country will hold these lines for future reference and hue to them in the selection of men to fill national offices, they will have soon changed the with news items and by means of editorials, written by the best available editorial writers, revealed the eminent qualifications of the late Senator McCormick, thus the nation is waiting to see the accomplishments of his successor during the hours of the day By Charles Stewart, Jr An unusual coincidence marks the inauguration of President Calvin Coolidge. He had just laid down the task mapped out by the late President Warren G. Harding and again takes up the new duty handed to him by millions of voters in November, thus he becomes the actor upon his own stage to direct his policies in the simplest forms possible to meet the government's every emergency. The day was ideal and the President's mind drifted back to the first lesson in the first chapter of the gospel of St. John in the favorite Bible of his grandfather. The gospel begins thus: "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the word was God." The hundred thousand hearers watched and applauded the sentiments expressed out of the mouth of the chieftain of the nation. This New England farm boy from the old marble state of Vermont, adopted by the commonwealth of Massachusetts, guided by the hand of Mr. Frank W. Sterna and Senator Butler stands today as the most conspicuous figure in government life of the world. Since the inaugural address of Lincoln, there has never been delivered a more plainly constructed concrete status in a simple form of the duties of the citizens irregardless of parties. Imparting to them what their duties are to the government of the nation, improving markedly on the advancement on the unifications of the enforcement of the law is a practical and an evenly measured, well balanced form to all citizens in every section equally and alike. The President cites in part: "We need not concern ourselves of the rights of property if we will fully observe the rights of persons." "Those who want their rights respected under the Constitution and the law, ought to set example themselves of observing the Constitution and the law." "We could, with profit, be less sectional and more national in our thought." Culling out these lines, we believe HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN that we have chosen the strong points that apply particularly to our race. If the editors and the people throughout the country will hold these lines for future reference and hue to them in the selection of men to fill national offices, they will have soon changed the policies of men who are elected to the national halls of Congress, whose main stock in trade is evasion. The President has laid down a policy that we trust in no future day the columns of the press representing the Negro people will have to call the attention of his inactivity when opportunity shall come to demand in all fairness adequate justice for every citizen alike in this commonwealth of the union. Let him always be mindful of the fact that he took the oath from the Bible from which he learned his first Scripture lesson. Mr. President, may you be as unswerving and with the same dexterity that you enforced the laws in the state of Massachusetts and lend to fourteen million American citizens the full wisdom of your mind in making the Dyer bill or some other similar bill the protector to the Negro people of the nation who have never failed since the beginning of the government to give their service and their lives on every battlefield. On parts of every battlefield where the flag that bears the emblems of the Stars and Stripes, some member of this race sleeps in an effort to make the democracy in its fullest sense the common cause of the righteous ends of humanity. You, Mr. President, as chieftain of the nation during your term of the next four years, have our most heartfelt hope that when your term shall have ended, you will have left on the pages of the history of your administration such marks of the enforcement of the Constitution that not only the living, but the unborn can pay a tribute for the mighty defector of humanity. March fourth marked a new era in the political conditions of Illinois. Party necessities called to Washington Senator-elect Charles S. Deneen to fill out the four remaining days of the unexpired term of the late Senator Medill McCormick, Senior Senator from Illinois. At this writing Senator Deneen begins the service for which he was elected by the people of the state of Illinois. The press throughout the world has with news items and by means of editorials, written by the best available editorial writers, revealed the eminent qualifications of the late Senator McCormick, thus the nation is waiting to see the accomplishments of his successor during the hours of the day and work. We make no mistake in saying that the new Senator is fully qualified to fill any emergency that may arise in the senate of the United States and to subserve the best interest of Illinois and the nation. He is a scholastic student in every branch of law and will soon become one of the leaders of the Senate. He moves with caution and when the occasion shall arise that will make it necessary for him to speak upon any important question in the interest of the cause of the nation or the state, the people will find that he is an intellectual giant. His manner can be best described as the late Col. Ingersoll described the intellectual qualities of Senator Conklin, of New York, when he spoke of the intellectuality of the flexibility of his needs. Time will prove to the hushed ones that he is in the class of Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont, and Senator John C. Spooner of Wisconsin, who furnished the actual brain matter in their time for the nation. Illinois is proud today to give to the nation a man who is equally balanced upon every question that requires the thought of a well surveyed legal mind. No doubt, in the course of time, the great agricultural west will present his claims for presidency of the United States. We note with no little surprise that the Supreme Court of Indiana has passed upon a city ordinance establishing a residential district, making segregated lines. The case comes under peculiar circumstances brought about over a duplex house. The point at issue was as to whether a white man could own a house, live in one side of it and rent the other side to Negroes. This decision is in direct violation of a decision handed down by Chief Justice White of the United ville, Kentucky, case. The important States Supreme Court in the Louis-point in this case is how it is possible that under the admitted statements in and out of court, the races were so intermingled throughout the state of Louisiana that it would require a new born scientist to grind a new lens from an undescribed microscope to tell as to whether many of their citizens were white or colored. white or colored. The judicial decision handed down by Chief Justice White was remarkable from the fact that there was not a dissenting opinion and it appears to the writer that it is more than the apex of audacity for this insignificant tribunal, absolutely out of harmony with the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States to pass upon such a decision. The Negro citizens of the nation should offer for service their best legal minds to aid in the defeating of this nefarious rendition. If this decision is made to stand it will be an entire reversal of the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. There is but two questions at issue, the right to purchase, and the right to live in the property purchased or rented with the full and honest protection of the law. ELEVENTH ANNUAL NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK TO BE OBSERVED APRIL 5-11 Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—In accord with the decision reached in the conference of representatives of various national and state welfare and health agencies, which was held at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, recently, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, has announced that the Eleventh Annual National Negro Health Week will be observed April 5 to 11.

After a night's sleep I opened my eyes, the nurse came in, put a little glass tasteless candy in my mouth, held my arm like she thought I was going to run away; thien looked at her watch, finally turned me loose and wrote something on a piece of paper and went on about her business. But there is always a forerunner; John the Bap- tist was said to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ; but there is a woman's face wreathed in smiles, as happy as a June’ bug, and she is the forerunner of the doctor. I don’t know as I have ever seen such a woman as Miss Mary E. Booth in all this world, and she is the most womanest woman there is; and when it comes to this nursing business she belongs on the top shelf. She is just plain nurse and not doctor. She recognizes the doctor as chief and she is to help him in his work and carry out strictly his orders; bat she has gotten to the place where she goes ahead of the doctor. This particular morning she came in and looked at me and smiled; I did not have any smiles to give back, but I gave her one grin, and she asked me how I was feeling. Then a nurse came with a tray full, I don't know what it was, it was not something to eat, cause it had bottles and bottles, and towels, and little rags, and big rags, and she put them down and went on about her business, and then followed that doc- tor. I wonder where in the hen feathers they found this men; he is Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, and somebody discovered him, and when they dis- covered him it was a real man, a doe- tor man, a cutting man, aman man, ‘and if I had the time T would congrat- ulate Tuskegee on having him, He looked at mes went through an exam- ination and examined me, but he didn't use that listening tube, and he said, “Well, the big game is on today, I have found it” “Miss Booth, I will have to use my knife.” She’ said “When, Doctor?” “Right away.” Then she went and got some more staff, and some more and he went away, and Dr. Benjamin T. Wood came in all dressed in white and looked like he represented some kind of a Priest or something; my mouth was then about to jump out of my heart, becguse I thought he was going to pull some kind of ritual burial serv- ice over me. He would not touch any- thing with his hands” Ob, I said, he is just proud that’s all, because he's got pretty hands; then Miss Booth put some rubber gloves on his hands, Then an old doctor came in who was all dressed in white, and I wondered what in the hen feathers e go- be dos ws me ees ay out his hands and put some rubber gloves on him; then they handled knives with forks or something; some kind of something to ae them up not | (ockng stag: the hands, wert holed, bute sald ye 2 inioute™ sik gel ROGGE Hie kad the lights and getting around and final- fy I saw him tale bie Gs a ‘it but he must have from the way 1 saw him dishing up blood and blood- erence, and he says “I got it now.” It took him about fifteen minutes to do all he does, then he said he dressed it up; then he said, “His temperature has jumped now from 103 to normal.” 1 don't know whether he meant normal school or not. I don't know what he was talking about. At any rate he came back at night, opened it up and had some more dressing and has been dressing me up and down ever since, until I find that T am getting better. While I am yet in bed, yet you need not be surprised to hear of me being lout next week. | This is indeed a wonderful institu- tion, and I just have been sleeping and resting, and resting and sleeping; and too, I have been killing myself eating. Last Sunday morning Mrs, Edith M. Johnston sent me a whole bird unto myself, and this Sunday morning I think Mrs. Kate Gover thought I wanted to’ do some running, and so she sent me some rabbit, and into my rabbit eternity it went. I suppose it will be necessary for Tuskegee to hold another Farmers’ Conference for me, for I certainly came here to one and I certainly have not seen it yet, not any part of it, but that is the way we go. There have been some people died before in their lives.and never expect to die again, During this stay at Tuskegee I have been surrounded by friends, I didn't know I had so many. Banker Gover has sent me all the ice cream I could eat at one time, and Mrs, Booker T. Washington has sent some daily. Now then, I have another friend who is not Killed with beauty, but one of the best men you ever met, he has all this feed- ing business; he is W. T. Shehee, and he has stood ready to furnish me with all the eats I was old enough to eat and the doctor would let me eat, but they had me on spoon victuals for ‘a while and now T can work on knife and fork victuals. Bishop John Hurst learned that I was sick some where, and he started in search and did not rest until he found me and with a check, and says call on me for whatever you want. Now then, here comes one of these quick yeast letters, called telespatch; it was sent to Mr. Holsey and said: “Received message that Col. Charles E, Stump is in hospital there sick. Tender our sympathy and best wishes and see that the very best attention is given him. Our race has no other man to fill his place.”—Spaulding and Avery. I think all the people have said nice things. I regret very much that I shall not be able to tell you about the meeting ‘of the Bishops’ Council in Wilming- ton, N.C, but then you will hear about it and F-hope to go with them in June to Los Angeles, Cal. I must pause long enough to say ‘good bye and I hope it is not good bye nor farewell to the Honorable Marcus Garvey. I note that the Supreme Court of Appeals declared that he must serve the Federal Government for a while. I don't know what the trouble is; something about the Black Star. I don't see why a fellow wants to change the stars to black anyhow. ‘This black business is awfully fall of prejudice and it makes trouble. A man born on the black of the moon is bound to see lots ofstrouble. Don’t ‘know what the moon was doing when I was born, therefore I ain't lost aay trouble and I am not looking for one. I simply say I pray for the good Brother Garvey, may the good Lord go with thee wherever you may land. ‘Well, we have been making men, big ‘men, little men; some men. ae to be little, and some men too to ‘be big. I used to think that all I had to do was to put on my father’s boots and wake wp a man.

Iam at a place where a fellow is: liable to say anything, and where he is liable to come in contact with anything and ‘anybody; some of them filling posi- tions, some people filling jobs; some got on grandfather's boots and cannot fill them; they are going to find it out some day, then I say I told you so. I wish I could pay the proper trib- ute to Robert Russa Moton. He is indeed a wonderful chief. His whole fife is spent in extending his hand to the other fellow, trying to help him up. T believe if it were in his power he would get down on his knees and spread out his broad hands and put them under the feet of every poor black boy and girl in this land and dash them up among the stars, but that is not possible; he is doing his step by step and one by one, and you see a whole race being benefited. I am not going to say a word this time about how he has been abused, how he has been misunderstood, because that is a part of life, but all America rejoices in the United States Veterans Hospital No. 91, and they say they knew Dr, Moton was going to put it over and before he did put it over, some of them certainly did give him hash-e-square-lull, Then there is another chief, per- haps the world will never know him, but a man every inch of him a gentle- man, a friend to every man, and that is Warren Logan. You never hear much talk about him, but the great Tuskegee Institute will some day praise God for his life. He worked side by side with Booker T. Washing- ton, and when his health failed he gid not just quit all together, for he is still connected with Tuskegee Insti- tute, not as Treasurer, but he is active. One of the great problems is to find his successor. It ig hard to find'a man who can loose himself, his prejudices, his personal whims and feclings and just step on the shoulder. of Warren Logan and take the work on and on. The other fellow will want to shout and give God the glory and honor, and he will want to be seen and will not want to be like a wise old owl who lived in an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard, 1 wonder if his suc- cessor will be like that wise old bird. I don't exactly know who is in line, therefore I ain't going to say anything about it, but God has a man some- where. Now I am through with that part of it, and we want to take up an- other phase of life, Tt is an easy thing to tear down but a hard thing to build up. It is an easy thing to holler seek and tag and start two dogs to fighting, but it is hard to keep dogs from fighting. It is an easy thing to say a thing that will get an- other fellow into trouble, but it is hard to get him out when he gets in. We have a lot of damphules who are ready to do what the other damphules say, ‘or the one who gives the command won't always execute it, but will stand off in his own importance and say, see who I is. I say these words with sadness as I think of a great Institu- tion; one of the greatest in the coun- try, Fisk University, where men and women are trained, some of the best men and women in this country hold their sheep skin from Fisk University. They have honored it, the Institution has honored them, but here comes a man who is not plessed with the man- agement, he has preached his sermons in the press, from the rostrum, and he has stirred the hearts of students. Schools are to produce men not hood- fums, and this country is full of schools, all kinds and grades, and if ‘one don't "suit you, go to another, Why should colored men, representing the thought and brain go to an insti- tution of learning with guns and bludgeons? That is not the place to look for trouble, but it seems that these latter day saints have found it neces- sary to go loaded and then become intoxicated on some ‘ism” and like Bolsheviks come out and defy the pres- ident to show his face, shoot from windows and make it necessary to call the police department to a temple of knowledge. I don't know the parties, but I do know that somebody has acted damphule, somebody has In The World of Fashion Fur Collars Mark | Brown and Red Plaid, \Tunic Is Popular _| Georgette Crepe Beade Naw Forinal Gowns| Fox Collar and Cuffs | Style of — in a a and | lat Modelr o! ais | | lay ‘ail x aeaien ea | & e | Mode as Wellas to Eve | eT at Either End. | oine- Clothe | 4 Agnes bas a collection that very much resembles per models of last winter, notes a Paris fashion cor respondent In the New York Herald- ‘Tribune. ‘The lime is straight and ‘slim, with a judicious use of the flare, and the waistline is still low. ‘The fong-lined cross-over corsage, dear to the middle-aged woman of ponderous proportions, plays a large part in this showing. Indeed, In many cases, it Is 80 obvious that the dress is intended for this neglected portion of humanity whose existence {¥ practically ignored by most of the other couturiers, that the slender mafikins look rather ridiculous wearing them. A new note Is sounded by the sep- arate fur collars that are made to wear with evening and afternoon gowns, They arefflat, six to eight Inches wide, with fur both sides, and consist of strands of dyed hare or rabbit about half yard long.

There are long loop sleeves and tiny puffs to some evening dresses, while others have a tiny flat sleeve formed by crossing a Ince insertion around the decolletage, under the arm and over the shoulders. Style of Ring to Grace Milady’s Dainty Finger “I want the big marquise ring,” said the pretty girl with the handsome man in the jeweler’s shop. “You're going to have the small ring with the pearl setting,” said her fiance. “I'm proud of your hands, Meg, but they are short and plump, and a marquise ring will ruin them!" ‘Observant man. Long-fingered 1a- dies, with tapering digits, can wear any size or shape of ring they like, may flaunt a lump of jade on the fore- finger if fancy takes hem, or an inch- ‘square opal surrounded by diamonds, While small, subdued rings may look lost on their hands, big gems sult them. But for small hands, short, square hands, or plump hands, thin bands of gold and jewels in less flamboyant set- tings are best. One small diamond or pearl in a dainty setting is worth see- ing on a small hand, whereas a big- stoned ring can easily spoll the wear- ‘ev’s appearance. ‘Another thing to consider is the tex- ture and color of the skin, ‘The wom- in whose hands are inclined to red- ness oF roughness must be careful not to wear rubles, sapphires or emeralds. White stones become her best. The woman with coarse-grained hands will find that pearis sober down her skin ‘wonderfully, and that even a single pearl ring can make all the difference to the looks of her hands—London Answers.

Coats and Other Clothes for Woman Who Is Stout “Winter coats, at best, ere heavy, thick things that make one look as broad as one is long,” you can hear a too-plump woman sigh as she makes her way Into the “stylish stouts” sec tion, But here she finds, to her relief, that there are conts much less cumbersome than she had imagined. In fact, if she is wise in her selection, she may be quite as “willowy” in her winter coat ag she was in some one-piece summer- time concoction. The first thing the stout woman should consider in choosing her winter coat is line. Since she needs to add height, Instead of breadth, to her fig- ure, a long coat should be satisfactory from more than one point of view. ‘The short, “boxy” Jacket which so gra- ciously fills out the thin woman's fears Sms GD ceaiioe Olas is the short, stout woman's lines. How- ever, the coat should be fairly loose, especially over the hips if they have any tendency to be too prominent. ‘The stout woman's coat should be rather plain, and whatever ornamenta- tlon it does haye should be perpendicu- lar in line, Horizontal effects are to be avoided throughout; and the “straight up-and down effect” every plump woman loves can be achieved by the cut of the coat itself, as well as by tho trimming. Plaits and overs fullness, for instance, are to be avoided. And a Y-sbaped neckline {s slenderiz- Ing. The belttess coat seems especially designed for the stout woman, since any belt at all, no matter how happily It is placed, tends to cut her helght and to broaden her figure. Sleeves are an important considera- tion. Never should they border on the full, leg-o'-mutton type, regardiess of style. ‘The longer and more slender they are in effect, the better. ‘The sleeves should either be quite without ornament or they should have only a Uttle bi ‘or similar trim, applied tnupanadoyn effect ‘The stout woman should remember this general. rule as she selects her winter coat Any part of the figure that {s foo prominent should not be accentuated by ornamentation. ‘The correctly pr Dart, rather, should be t into prominence and the othe ued, Straightline Unbelted Coat Dress Is Favored ‘The straightline unbelted cost dress button-closed at the front or lapping in wide double-breasted effect, is « predestined favorite for autumn, says the Philadelphia Ledger. ‘These smart tallored frocks are all provided witk close-fitting wrist-length sleeves and finished high at the neck, elther cut high or finished with choker or higt rolling shawl’ on notched collars Smooth surface wool fabrics In plain overcheck OF fine stripe effects ar accepted materials, as well as plalz and fancy flannels, and some of tht heavier plain slike.

Tunic Is Popular Style of Season Outfit Adapted to Tailored Mode as Well as to Eve- ning: Clothes Whether it is part of an ensemble costume or is n separate garment, the tunle is unquestionably one of the most important fashion features of the present season, asserts a fashion writer In the Kansas City Star. And {ts vogue is not surprising, since its possibilities are Infinite and It fs con- fined to no special material or to any particular costume. One sees it adapt- ed to the tailored mode as well as to the fashions for evening wear. With the advent of cool days the tune of kasha has made {ts appear- ance, and it is ideal for street wear. As a rule the foundation is made of black satin, but occasionally a few inches of velvet show below the hem of the tunic, When velvet is emplored it Is also used as a trimming on the tunic. An Interesting model to exploit this com- bination of materials is one that has a tunic of black kasha trimmed with nar- row bands of French blue velvet and worn over a foundation sip bordered with velvet, Beige and brown are shades which have a special affinity for each other and are especially effective when there Is @ contrast of texture as well as of color, A striking instance of the charm of these colors when combined is shown in an attractive model. A pina- fore tunie of beige kasha opens over a slip of brown satin, Narrow bands of satin embroidered in gold trim the sleeves and pocket. With this is worn ‘one of the new hats of brown satin simply trimmed with loops of ribbon. ‘At the moment school and college girls’ fashions hold the center of the fashion stage and in their combination of practical qualities allied to an un- obtrusive but youthful smartness they are appropriate to the years and to the status of thelr wearers, Nothing has yet been designed that ‘quite takes the place of a beautifully made, smartly cut frock of navy blue twill or Serge whose simplicity Is as artful as it is intriguing. This year there are a number of new versions of this old favorite, each one distin- guished by details of marked individu- ality. Bits of bright color are cleverly introduced, tiny metal buttons are skillfully employed, a feminine daintl- ness is added by finishing neck and sleeves with collars and cuffs of lin- gerie and lace, and a boyish aspect is given by scarfs and ties of plaid or gayly striped silk. Next to the navy blue frock in popn- larity comes the plaid dress, which seems destined for a decided vogue and which ts especially adapted to the needs of the school and college girl.

Hints on Packing Away Clothes and Draperies Summer clothes and house draperies should be stored clean and unstarched, for starch will cause the material to rot. ‘The best plan, after white garments or draperies are washed and well dried is to store them in a pillowcase or linen bag to keep them free from soll. It is a question whether inexpensive and somewhat faded cotton frocks are worth keeping from one season to another. They might be cut down for rompers and overails for the children. No gown should be stored with lace collars the least bit solled. Such lace will look far more soiled when rouge to light again, and in the meantime dirt seems to wear in, Powdered magnesia oF fuller’s earth will often work wonders with soiled lace, but the substance should be al- lowed to remain two or three days be- fore being brushed away. If rugs are to be put away and re- placed by heavier articles for the win- _semmber ciate ape ce. tae should ever be folded, buf rolled. ‘The marks made by folding carpets and rugs, instead of carefully rolling them, take a long time to disappear, and they often become permanent. Shawl Collars Shawl collars of fur are very effec- tively used on the new coats, and are frequently coupled with mousquetaire ‘cuffs of far, Georgette Crepe Beaded in Red.

Accessories Can Make or Mar Chic Costume “A lady Is known,” goes the old say- ing, “by her shoes and her pocket- handkerchiefs." And certainly care in buying the accessories of dress does, to a very great extent, insure a well- groomed appearance, says a writer In the Kansas City Star. Care in buying accessories does not mean the expenditure of much time, money and energy in selecting all the gewgaws with which one can load oneself. Indeed the old rule for achieving a well-dressed appearance is still apropos—"Go to the mirror after you are dressed, and see what you can take off." Accessories—hats, gloves, fans, handkerchiefs, beads, bracelets, veils—may be counted upon either to add much to or detract much from the general effect; they are seldom neu- tral. So they must be tastefully se- lected, and, above all, they must not be indiscriminately worn. Now, a bat {8 such an important ad- Junct to the costume that t is almost ‘more than a mere accessory. It is im portant both as a frame to the face and in its relationship to the rest of the costume. If you wear a plain, tall- ored dress or sult, “for instance, the sailor hat or some other tallored shape should be chosen. If your costume 1s more elaborate, you may allow your- self somewhat fancier headgear. In general, {t is well, when you select a hat, to wear the costume with which you intend to use it. Veils, like hats, must be appropriate to the costume; for, though beautiful ‘and becoming when happily chosen, a veil often is out of place, The rule which should be your guide in knowing when you should wear a veil is this: Wear it only when there's # logical reason for doing so, such as to add to the beauty of the hat, or to protect the face. Of course, your veil can never be attractive if it is not delicate and fresh, 3 Gloves, again, should be In harmony with the rest of the costume, Do not wear kid gloves with a lingerle dress, or, even worse, silk gloves with furs. Dainty handkerchiefs, too, may be selected to match the costume, though plain white linen handkerehfefs of ex- cellent quality are always in good taste, ‘When ft comes to beads, bracelets, artificial flowers and the like, wear them only when they are suitable for the the, place and occasion and when they add definitely to your appearance. It is quite proper for you to buy ac- cessories to sult every costume you own—but it isn't proper for you to ‘wear them all at once. Pajamas With Kimono to Match, Late Style In a recent exhibition of negligees and lngerle a guy little sign, done in Chinese letters, called attention to the Influence that the Orient has had upon fashions for leisure hours. And to em- phasize this fact there were shown the most alluring new models. ‘These con- sisted of pajamas with a kimono to match. The upper part of the pajamas was cut on the lines of a Chinese coat, reaching just to the knees and em- broidered in bright colors.
